Cable tram ferry carries an automobile and a man across a wide river or body of water. In the distance are low-lying hills or mountains. Probably farther west of Summit County, Colorado. According to local historian Bill Fountain, a similar but much smaller ferry crossed over the Colorado River, just east of Grand Junction, Colorado.

Two formally-dressed men in a wagon pulled by two horses with a driver travel a narrow road that has been cleared in a snow slide. Probably taken in the Ten Mile Canyon, Colorado, near the Curtain train station where a snow slide occurred on December 15, 1922. Caption on right of photo has a date of 6/8/22, but that may not be correct as snow would have mostly melted by June.
